Advanced Strategies for Dynamic Response, Human Comfort Assessment, and Vibration Control of Building Structures

Dear Colleagues,

The advanced strategies for dynamic response analysis, human comfort assessment, and vibration control of building structures represents relevant research subjects that are expanding in the structural engineering and theoretical fields. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to present the recent evolution, the most innovative approaches and scientific progress about the design methodologies and theoretical aspects related to the structural analysis of building structures, with the scope of presenting the state-of-the-art of structural solutions with the design of buildings in mind. This Special Issue also is focused on the outline the fundamental development trends in the dynamic analysis and human comfort assessment of buildings together with the most recent advances in vibration control, fatigue assessment, experimental characterization, numerical modelling, validation methods, and engineering applications. All these topics will be covered in this collection of contributions. Scientific contributions will be considered noteworthy if they represent a real element of novelty in structural analysis and building project as well as in the advanced analysis methodologies for effective design solutions.
